#threads

👀 So, this is what they've been working on: https://www.threads.net/@mosseri/post/C7CXVYIpI0G

Article: https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/16/threads-testing-pinned-columns-on-the-web-like-tweetdeck/

Observations, judging from screenshots:
- It allows pinning accounts 🤔
- It introduces gray background to fill the white space for this layout instead of the single-column version 🤷‍♂️
- Corner radius got way more rounded, including the images/videos, for some reason…
- Make sense for them to build it as there won't be any 3rd-party #Threads clients.

Finally I'm getting around to listen to @mike 's Dot.Social episode with @rklambo and @pcottle from #meta, talking about #threads.

Mike asks the most important question first: "why are you [Meta] doing this [Fediverse integration]?"

[cont]

Question for the people! -- What platforms on the Fediverse offer the best content discovery capabilities? Services like Flipboard and Threads are integrated into the Fediverse now, we should be getting a lot of contents, but when I search for specific topics, the results are still really sparse.

Threads erlaubt mehr Kontrolle über "Quote Posts"

Nicht wenige meinen, dass die Möglichkeit, Beiträge zu zitieren, die Atmosphäre auf Twitter vergiftet hat. Die Alternativen wie Threads wollen es besser machen.

Some _very_ rough commands to import your threads.net followings into your Mastodon account: https://github.com/siggy/threads2mastodon

#ActivityPub #Mastodon #Threads #Fediverse

Opaque algorithms are a funny thing.

Over on #Threads, my "Following" feed does consistently have more things in it that are interesting to me than my "For you" feed.

I've been observing this for a few weeks now, and it's consistent.

Seem the cost function might be optimizing for something other than what I like? Or is the signal not good enough because I don't "like" or such enough?

I wish the #Mastodon UI showed me who people followed from #Threads - I want to follow them, but if I click through to Threads I can't log into my home server.

@ErikJonker @helma @EDPS As an American 🇺🇸, I am shocked that the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 could be so short sited!

Will they allow their voice in the #Fediverse to solely rely upon #Threads when the latter federates in #Europe (as the #EU 🇪🇺 is active upon there)‽

Waking myself up & firing up an angry #WriteFreely post!

💬 Warum genau sollte #Threads ein Teil vom FEDIVERSE werden?
